Dear Senator Riley, I read in the local newspaper that you voted against Senate Bill 487, which would grant greater freedom of the press and thus greater government transparency. I read your arguments, and I believe that you made one or two thoughtful points. However, I do not believe you are representing the will of the voters. A recent poll showed that 65% of the voters in your district were in favor of Senate Bill 487. When this issue comes up again, please remember that you do not have the people on your side.

Sincerely,

William Blixton Merryweather

Explain how mrs. van daan feels about anne?

Read the passage below and answer the question that follows. ‘you make me feel uncivilized, daisy,’ i confessed on my second glass of corky but rather impressive claret. ‘can’t you talk about crops or something? ’ i meant nothing in particular by this remark but it was taken up in an unexpected way. ‘civilization’s going to pieces,’ broke out tom violently. ‘i’ve gotten to be a terrible pessimist about things. have you read ‘the rise of the coloured empires’ by this man goddard? ’ ‘why, no,’ i answered, rather surprised by his tone. ‘well, it’s a fine book, and everybody ought to read it. the idea is if we don’t look out the white race will be—will be utterly submerged. it’s all scientific stuff; it’s been proved.’ in this passage, tom’s ideas about race relations come off as uncivilized. what literary device is fitzgerald using here? irony personification metaphor simile
